  1. Families

    ICUsleep replied to PrncessK's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, there! Sorry you had a crappy day. I think what you did (cry in the car) is exactly what you should do. That is "how to deal". It is important to let toxic feelings out. Doing it in the privacy of...

  2. artifical nails off..angry nurse

    ICUsleep replied to Lady Sapphire's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'm a student as well...our school has the same policy...no artificial nails (which I don't wear anyway). Also no nail polish, which kind of bugs me, especially since our instructors WEAR NAIL POLISH....

  3. Why do you want to be a nurse?

    ICUsleep replied to e_pigpig's topic in General Nursing

    I've never heard of anyone going into nursing for the money (MONEY??) I have heard of people going into nursing for the variety and job availability. If it is about the money, she will realize there...

  4. PCA BY proxy

    ICUsleep replied to JHUBRAIN's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I thought that, too. There are lockouts so that only a certain amount can be dispensed by the patient, much less a family member. Somone could easily kill your patient (and the patient could...

    ICUsleep replied to SKYSTHELIMIT's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  7. Become A Nurse Just To Be A Crna?

    Yes, the clinical experience in ICU is priceless....also required to even enter a CRNA

  8. Become A Nurse Just To Be A Crna?

    ICUsleep replied to SKYSTHELIMIT's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    How could it be wrong to have a long-term goal? Many student enter their training knowing (or having an inkling) that they may wish to specialize. Do you think it is wrong for someone to want to be an...

  9. Do RNs have to take PA's order?

    ICUsleep replied to EvePooh's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on the state they are in (for PAs and NPs). NPs can't prescribe narcs in

  10. Movie business

    ICUsleep replied to preciousshelby's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know how you would go about being an on-site nurse for movies....I think for stunt people they usually have medics around in case something goes wrong. Anything really serious happens, they'd...

  11. Approximate Insurance Costs for CRNAs

  14. Approximate Insurance Costs for CRNAs

    ICUsleep replied to ICUsleep's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Malpractice insurance. I have heard from RNs that it is "high" for CRNAs (I would imagine it would be higher for CRNAs than RNs...) I don't know what is "high" or what is "average" for that, so I'm...

  15. How much $ do RNs start out at?

    ICUsleep replied to Doug85's topic in General Nursing

    I am trying to do the math here. You say you get paid $20.56 an hour and work about 4 days a week (I am assuming 12 hr. days). How are you bringing home $76,000? Are you working a lot of nights and...
